Description
Please add the ability to debug Nushell scripts within VSCode. Would help when making large scripts to have a step debugger and be able to see the call stack, variable values, etc.
Would be great to have both an launch debugger option and an attached debugger option.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the VSCode extension's existing Nushell script support. Scope the launch debugger and attached debugger options, including step debugging, call-stack inspection, and variable values. Done means both debugger modes work for Nushell scripts within VSCode.
